The world''s largest collection of tick cell lines, enabling scientists to carry out advanced research. This biobank is establishing a collection of all the continuous cell lines derived from ixodid and argasid ticks of medical and veterinary importance available worldwide now and in future. Ticks are blood feeding arthropods which transmit many human and animal diseases. Research into prevention and cure of these diseases, which are caused by viruses, bacteria and protozoa, is greatly assisted by the use of cell culture systems which enable study of both how tick cells function, and how and why ticks transmit these disease-causing pathogens. Cell lines will always be shipped to recipient laboratories as growing cultures, since we cannot guarantee successful resuscitation of frozen stabilates. Tick cells in culture can tolerate the range of temperatures experienced during transit by air for up to a week. Training: We will provide training in tick cell line care and maintenance. This is an essential component of successful transfer of tick cells to, and their establishment in, laboratories with little or no previous experience of tick cell culture. Recipient scientists (preferably the person who will actually look after the cells) can visit the biobank for between 2 days and 2 weeks, depending on their level of previous experience, to be trained in the specific approach and methods for tick cell cultivation. Establishment of new cell lines: In response to requests and on receipt of suitable starting material (engorged female or moulting nymphal ticks), we will attempt to establish new cell lines from tick species or strains which are not already represented in the collection. Deposition of new tick cell lines: We invite researchers anywhere in the world who have established new tick cell lines to deposit samples for safekeeping free of charge and, if requested, for distribution alongside the existing biobank portfolio.

Stem cell banking is a unique opportunity to store the precious building blocks of the human body; cord blood, cord tissue and fat tissue are just some sources of stem cells ready to provide the foundation for more than 70 treatments of blood, blood related diseases and future applications in regenerative medicine. To not consider the storage or donation of these precious stem cells could be a missed opportunity! Cryo-Save is officially recognized as the largest family stem cell bank in Europe. With more than 180,000 samples stored and four fully-owned storage facilities throughout the world, Cryo-Save has over ten years'' experience and state-of-the-art technical know-how, providing the basis for a strong and reliable organization. An ethical approach, scientific professionalism and customer-focused care are the core elements of our daily activities, as we strive to be an active player in life-science development in over 40 countries. Our company was established in 2000, is headquartered in the Netherlands and successfully active in 40 countries across four continents. We are officially accredited by the regulatory authorities and set the highest quality standards in everything we do. We follow a dual storage system, meaning that the stem cells are stored independently in two separate storage tanks within our state-of-the-art facility. Our dedication to research in collaboration with universities, physicians and stem cell scientists has put us at the forefront of technological developments.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 31, 2016. Stem cell research, particularly human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research, holds tremendous promise to discover therapeutic options and perhaps cures for insidious diseases such as cancer, juvenile diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The Massachusetts Human Stem Cell Bank provides the biomedical research community with expertly maintained human ES (hES) and reprogrammed (iPS) cell lines to facilitate studies into the properties and potential therapeutic applications of pluripotent stem cells. The Bank cultures, characterizes and distributes quality controlled hES and iPS cell lines derived in Massachusetts and beyond. The Bank is a 15,000 square foot facility that contains research and training space for visiting investigators. In addition, the Education and Training division provides technical training and programs to educate the community.

The Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF), in collaboration with American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), has created a Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) Cell Bank. The Cell Bank is a collection of various MCL lines created by scientists from all over the world. The idea for the Cell Bank was generated by the scientists that make up the MCL Consortium (MCLC). It was created to provide a single, centralized location where scientists can easily acquire high-quality, well-characterized MCL cell lines in an effort to accelerate discoveries in MCL. LRF has acquired 8 different MCL cell lines (July 2010): Mino, Z-138, JVM-2, JVM-13, REC-1, NCEB-1, JeKo-1, and Maver-1. The Cell Bank is chaired by Dr. Owen O''Connor of New York University Langone Medical Center and is housed at ATCC, the world''s largest biological resource center and the most comprehensive source of reference cultures and reagents used by researchers in the academic and industry laboratories. The Cell Bank was made possible by the scientists who generously agreed to share their resources, including, Dr. Elias Campo, Dr. Zeev Estrov, Dr. Richard Ford, Dr. Junia Melo and Dr. Alberto Zamo.

A second-generation retrovirus producer lines for the generation of helper free ecotropic and amphotropic retroviruses. The lines are based on the 293T cell line (a human embryonic kidney line transformed with adenovirus E1a and carrying a temperature sensitive T antigen co-selected with neomycin). The unique feature of this cell line is that it is highly transfectable with either calcium phosphate mediated transfection or lipid-based transfection protocols-- up to 50% or higher of cells can be transiently transfected. The lines were created by placing into 293T cells constructs capable of producing gag-pol, and envelope protein for ecotropic and amphotropic viruses. The lines offered advantages over previous stable systems in that virus can be produced in just a few days. Academic and non-profit laboratories may obtain the Phoenix cells from either Allele Biotechnology or the National Gene Vector Bank. The vectors may be obtained from Addgene. They are no longer distributing these reagents from the lab.

Data set containing a gene-specific connectome file for each human gene and computer programs for ranking lists of genes within a gene-specific connectome, clustering and plotting the genes by the functional genomic alignment (FGA) approach, and generating gene-specific connectomes. The programs were developed and tested on Mac and Linux systems. The external software required for running these programs is open-source and free of charge. The HGC is the set of all biologically plausible routes, distances, and degrees of separation between all pairs of human genes. A gene-specific connectome contains the set of all available human genes sorted on the basis of their predicted biological proximity to the specific gene of interest. The HGC is a powerful approach for human genotype-phenotype high-throughput studies, for which it can be used to rank any list of genes within a gene-specific connectome for an experimentally validated core gene. Functional genomic alignment (FGA) is equivalent to traditional multiple sequence alignment (MSA), except that it clusters genes in trees on the basis of the functional biological distance between them predicted by HGC, rather than on the basis of molecular evolutionary genetic distance. This method is therefore more suitable for disease and phenotypic studies.
